Petchinsky M: Rich in Ruins

Rich in Ruins

Wealth Creation After the Fall

Fatamorgana is a book born of silence and doubt, written over three winter months in a cabin deep in Missouri, soundtracked by Oppenheimer and Bach. Told with dark humor and plainspoken intelligence, it's a layered portrait of modern life-equal parts confession, cultural diagnosis, and elegy for a world that feels increasingly performative and disconnected.
There are sharp, wry moments-especially when capturing the absurdities of corporate life or American social rituals. But the author is not above critique: she turns the same lens inward, owning her complicity with clarity and depth.

Memoir + Corporate Takedown + Manifesto
 Few books blend these genres so seamlessly. It begins with the author's immigrant childhood, builds into an unsparing critique of corporate decay, and closes with philosophical and societal proposals.
Think Bullshit Jobs (Graeber) but with memoir. Uncanny Valley (Wiener) but with sharper teeth. More Than a Woman (Moran) but structurally bolder.

Fatamorgana surpasses them in ambition and weight-without losing intimacy.
 Some scenes unspool like cinema. The end of Day 69 is pure poetry.
 Living Through the DEI Era and They Weren't Meant to Be Divided might unsettle you.
 The Art of Signaling takes you backstage.
 And The Years, at the very end, just might undo you.

Fatamorgana

Debasing the price of gold to protect the dollar has failed. A new system is now inevitable. The Western media fixation on Bitcoin--price, memetics, and volatility--ignores the strategic resurgence of gold. The narrative framing of the rise of gold ignores the cause: an underlying structural shift. In 2023 and 2024, Chinese gold imports surpassed most Western central banks' entire holdings. China doesn't need to announce a gold standard. It only needs to create conditions where gold becomes more trustworthy than Western fiat. The shift won't require an edict. It will occur by default, when trust fails and metal remains. The new significance of gold isn't driven by inflation fears or chart patterns--it reflects a tectonic restructure, a repricing of trust. Not trust from the public--but from institutions. Central banks keep buying gold. There was no mania. Just a quiet shift from paper gold promises to physical certainty. Then suddenly the Bank of International Settlements gave the transition a big shove via Basel III. Power is flowing East. China and Russia have drawn in massive amounts of gold while dumping Treasuries. The BRICS will unveil a gold backed e-CNY to compete with the dollar. Simultaneously, they are forcing the US debt back home in exchange for real assets, choking the Fed/Treasury on the mountain of paper, and grabbing the financial power. This momentous shift is already underway Western banks, lacking the gold to cover their obligations, are increasingly trying to financialize the problem. A Chinese edition of the original edition of Gold Wars was published by the prestigious Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press.

Economics, Law, and Institutions in Asia Pacific

This book examines the background and consequences of the reversal in gender disparities in education through the case of the Philippines. While global education and development discourse has long emphasized girls’ disadvantage, a reversal—where boys are falling behind in education—has also recently emerged in a number of countries in developing contexts. This book critically investigates this issue in the Philippines, hailed as the top runner of gender equality in Asia and the Pacific, where boys—especially those from poorer households and in rural areas—are increasingly falling behind. Drawing on data from three provinces across the archipelago’s main regions—Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the book empirically traces the background and consequences of the reversal in family dynamics and school environments amid poverty and uneven development. It reveals that boys’ educational disengagement cannot be understood independently of broader socioeconomic structures. While girls may outperform boys in education, labor market and familial systems often continue to disadvantage women, recursively shaping boys’ educational disengagement. Through the lens of intergroup heterogeneity, this book offers an in-depth examination of the nature of the reversal. The economics of reversal is thus used not merely to describe, but to rigorously interrogate surface-level shifts that may obscure deeper, enduring asymmetries. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach combining development economics, education, and area studies, aiming to bridge econometric rigor and field-based contextual sensitivity. It is intended for scholars, educators, policymakers, and students interested in evolving patterns of education and development.
This volume presents an expanded and refined development of the author’s earlier research, which was awarded the Main Prize at the 19th Asia Pacific Research Prize (Iue Prize), conferred by the Asia Pacific Forum, Awaji Conference Japan.

Economics of the Reversal in Gender Disparities in Education and Development

Stefan A. Marx analysiert die globale Drogenökonomie im Spannungsfeld von Befreiung und Unterdrückung, immer weiter gesteigerter Ausbeutung und Drogenprohibition.
Drogen dienen dabei der Aufrechterhaltung des (Arbeits-)Alltags und bestehender Herrschaftsverhältnisse: Psychopharmaka sollen Schmerzerkrankungen und Depressionen lindern, ohne deren Ursachen zu beheben. Während Tech-Milliardäre ihre Existenz mittels Microdosing und dem Handel auf Kryptomärkten optimieren, bleibt für die Masse der Armen in den Herstellungsländern nur die Narcoculture, geprägt von Ungerechtigkeit und Gewalt.
Wie kann es, angesichts der enormen Produktivität und Ressourcenverfügbarkeit sein, dass weite Teile der Weltbevölkerung immer noch nicht frei sind vom Überlebenskampf? Wie kann es sein, dass der War on Drugs weltweit gegen Bauern und Bäuerinnen sowie Konsument:innen geführt wird, anstatt gegen die Strukturen ihrer Ausbeutung?

Economic Governance Technology was written with not only the belief, but also a sense of certainty, that insights and tools provided by modern science and technology, combined with basic human values and basic logic, will allow the creation of a new economic governance technology. 
This technology will make it possible to build efficient and productive economies, ensuring full employment and a fair distribution of wealth - all without having to go through depressions, major recessions, or large fluctuations in the interest rate. Moreover, all this can be done even amid major shifts in technology, natural disasters, and epidemics.
Peter G. Hammerschlag, a mechanical engineer with a large variety of experience in the real economy of making goods and providing services, in large companies and in small companies, outlines such a technology in this book. He does so using basic, practical language that even the lay person can grasp. The ideas he presents can be viewed initially as an additional branch of economics. However, they will eventually make substantial parts of present-day economics obsolete. 
This new technology, when fully developed, will make it possible to monitor, guide and, when needed, control an economy for the benefit of all, ensuring productivity, full employment, a fair distribution of wealth, and sufficient allocation of resources to public services and preparations for the future.

Canada stands at a crossroads. After decades of slow growth, regulatory drag, and rising regional inequality, the country faces a fundamental choice: continue along the current path-or build boldly again.In Frontier Nation, Ravi Nair presents a powerful and practical vision for Canada's next century. Blending narrative storytelling with policy insight, the book introduces the concept of Gateway Cities-master-planned, innovation-driven economic hubs designed to unlock growth, expand opportunity, and reconnect Canada to the global economy.Drawing on global precedents and Canadian history, Nair shows how a new generation of gateway regions could combine affordable housing, rapid approvals, Indigenous partnership, modern infrastructure, and disciplined fiscal governance to accelerate industrial diversification and create up to a million new jobs.More than a policy proposal, Frontier Nation is a call to rebuild national confidence. At a time when many Canadians feel distant from decision-making and uncertain about the country's economic future, the book offers a framework for restoring ambition while remaining faithful to Canada's social values and democratic traditions.Both a story and a strategy, Frontier Nation challenges Canadians to imagine a country that builds again-more prosperous, more inclusive, and ready to lead in a rapidly changing world.

Die Schweiz gilt weltweit als Synonym für Stabilität und Vertrauen. Doch genau diese Stärke prägt ein Finanzsystem, das Wettbewerb begrenzt und Abhängigkeiten schafft. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Vertrauen zum Steuerungsinstrument von Kapital geworden ist, warum alternative Finanzierungsformen kaum durchdringen und weshalb Kapital zwar vorhanden ist, aber oft Wirkung verliert. Eine fundierte, kritische und zugleich konstruktive Analyse für Unternehmer, Investoren und internationale Kapitalgeber, die das Schweizer Finanzsystem verstehen und Finanzierungsentscheidungen bewusster treffen wollen.
